MINE THAT BIRD is the only horse to come close to Rachel... but, nobody ever acknowledges THAT major fact when writing about MTB. They only like to point out the "negatives".

I'm still a MTB fan - go Birdie!

LDP, thanks. That's what I thought, but to be honest, I was so caught up in Derby preps, I wasn't paying much attention to the fillies.

Did anyone hear the fat lady singing. She has completed her warmup and now we are ready to crown Rachel Alexandra 2009 Horse of the Year, In yet another Romp.

Karen in Indiana,

Nope. Her closest race besides the Preakness was the FG Oaks where she was geared way down in the mud to win by 1 3/4 lengths.

Has any horse been closer to Rachel Alexandra this year than Mine That Bird in the Preakness?
